Robert Bathurst, Huey Morgan, Diana Quick, Richard Smyth, Robin Ince and Joss Stone
Clive Anderson is joined by Huey Morgan, Robert Bathurst, Diana Quick, Robin Ince and Richard Smyth for an eclectic mix of conversation, with music from Joss Stone.
Clive gets Cold Feet with actor Robert Bathurst, whose career has seen him Wild At Heart and who plays hapless landowner Sir Anthony Strallan, who jilted Lady Edith at the altar in 'Downton Abbey'. In his new play, Robert is the consultant to a patient convinced that a military dictator is his father in a darkly comic story touching on race, mental illness and 21st century British life. 'Blue/Orange' is on tour until Saturday 1st December.
Clive revisits Brideshead with actress Diana Quick and talks to her about playing Julia Flyte; the beautiful and mercurial belle of the Flyte clan in 'Brideshead Revisited'. Diana's now starring as 'Kettle', a selfish woman embroiled in a tale about a family facing the loss of their beloved French holiday home. 'Mother's Milk' is showing at cinemas from Friday 9th November.
Robin Ince shares some toilet humour with author and cartoonist Richard Smyth, whose book 'Bum Fodder: An Absorbing History of Toilet Paper', details the origin of the humble loo roll and how our ancestors coped without it. Richard also gets to the bottom of how toilet paper even played a part in British espionage during World War II.
Clive squares up to musician, broadcaster and native New Yorker Huey Morgan and talks to him about life as a DJ on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2 and 6 Music and his other job as rock 'n' roll Renaissance Man and Fun Lovin' Criminal. Huey's come a long way from the ladies man who twinkled his wise-guy way through his Fun Lovin' 90's and is now going solo. He performs 'Fall Into Me' from his debut solo album 'Say It To My Face'.
And more music from a lady who needs no introduction, Grammy Award-winning soul singer-songwriter Joss Stone performs 'Teardrops' from her album 'The Soul Sessions Volume 2'.
Producer: Cathie Mahoney.
